class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that we missed in our close look at the Roadster prototype at the museum is the plaque in front of the vehicle talking about the acceleration time with the SpaceX package:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Demonstrating the versatility of electric power and adding extra distinction to the car\u2019s already high performance, an announced SpaceX package would outfit the Roadster with cold air rocket thrusters positioned at the rear, allowing for a 0-to-60-mph acceleration time of 1.1 seconds \u2013 largely unprecedented among modern road cars.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assuming that Tesla worked with the museum on the plaque, it could mean that it could be the actual target for the SpaceX package.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When first unveiling the vehicle, Tesla claimed a list of insanely impressive specs for the new Roadster, including&nbsp;0-60 mph in 1.9 sec, 620 miles of range, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the CEO quickly added that the insane specs announced in 2017 for the new electric hypercars are only \u201cthe base specs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musk later explained that Tesla plans to offer a \u201cSpaceX package\u201d with cold air thrusters around the vehicle to boost performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it almost sounded like a joke at first, he made it clear that they absolutely plan to bring the feature to production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most recently, Musk said that it will be \u201clike full-on James Bond,\u201d and that a thruster is going to be hidden behind the license plate.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, it\u2019s still not clear how much faster than 1.9 seconds to 60 mph the new Tesla Roadster can get with the SpaceX package, but some have suggested that it could accelerate to 60 mph as fast as 1.1 seconds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, a CGI artist produced a render of the Tesla Roadster accelerating to 60 mph in 1.1 seconds, and it looks like something no one should be allowed to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tesla plans for&nbsp;the&nbsp;engineering of the new Tesla Roadster tp be completed this year&nbsp;in order to enter production in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\"
